This often leaves me buying items in a large size that require tailoring down. While finding great tailoring was easy in NYC, Charlottesville is really sore for quality tailoring individuals. Luckily, after looking into two other local shops, I discovered Simin. In this case, I brought a formal foxhunting jacket that was an odd fit and much to large (understand that getting a jacket taken in and extensively tailored is not a simple job.) The jacket done within a week and it was tailored beautifully! It honestly looks like it was custom made for me. I am a very impressed by the quality of work these ladies do. Five star worthy! Needless to say, I am a happy customer!

Based on a few word of mouth recommendations to "check this place out", we came by on a rainy…read moreSaturday to peruse the store. My significant other and I both liked how funky, fun, and stylistic the selection of furniture, artwork, and house wares were. The tasteful eclectic variety of items were refreshing against the general plethora of antiques in town. The store was divided into 3 main rooms with slight different thematic elements of decoration in each. Upon entering you have the choice to either go left or right; we choose the left and worked our way through the store. We noticed this artist meets rustic farm house vibe with the wood, glass, and wheat in one room paired with large abstract color field paintings and textiles. The furniture style seemed to be a blend between artistic mid-century to contemporary, comfortable, and functional pieces. Textile pattern options ranged from geometric, to Ikat, and modern abstraction. If you're a fan of different, you're in luck. We tried out a few cloth and leather couches which felt both firm and nicely crafted. The price points are relatively high however based on our interaction with the owner and employees, as well as testing some of the furniture, we could understand why. The pieces seem to be thoughtfully curated and of high quality. While we did not purchase any furniture on our first visit, based on this experience we'd consider doing so at a later point. FYI - There is dedicated parking for the store directly in front. Read the signs carefully since the lot is shared with other businesses.

The process was seamless and initially we were thrilled with our Palliser furniture. After a few weeks we began to have issues with the springs on both pieces. Attempts were made by Essentials to fix the issue, all to no avail. We met with Arthur "Art" Cox at Essentials and without delay he agreed to return the furniture. That same day we picked out another sofa and chair and it was literally delivered by 5:00 p.m. that evening. It was the easiest exchange and Essentials (as well as Palliser) stood behind their products AND their customer service! I would add that as a result of the exchange we had a credit with the store. We initially thought we would purchase something else but ultimately did not need additional furniture. We contacted the store and Heather Dunham again provided excellent customer service, as she had a check for us that same day. When I assured her we didn't need it right away, her response was, "it's no problem!" It was truly a pleasure to work with the folks at Essentials! They are a local (Charlottesville) family run business. They maintain the values that are most important to me as a consumer. I highly recommend conducting business with this great company!

The service, product quality, and price were all great. First, the communication and cooperation from the company was amazing. They worked with me to send the shipment on a specific day from the east coast, to arrive on a specific day from the west coast, so I could be here to sign for the goods. Second, the shipment arrived exactly on time, was in excellent condition, and looked incredible when I got it upstairs and out of the boxes. Some minor assembly was required, but was manageable even without the enclosed directions. Third, the price on line was a great value. I have sought out similar items online- I did have several months to research this, after all. Under The Roof turned out to have the best prices AND the best service. I highly recommend them, and hope to purchase more great furniture from them soon.
